Answer 1

Answer: a. suggests that when we receive something from another person we should respond in the future with a favor for them.

The norm of reciprocity is repaying in kind what another person has done for us. It is a favorable response given to each other for benefits received by returning it with benefits also. Responding to harms with either indifference or hostility, also.
